Value Chain Summary
Fruit juice (I/III)
Despite its significant potential, there is limited domestic juice processing in Ethiopia; which, coupled with rising demand, is leading to a steep (140%) increase of juice imports (17.23 MN in 2017 from USD 9.6 MN in 2015)
1
Key bottlenecks are raw fruit availability (limited supply), high cost and low quality input, and fragmented supply chain
To allow for targeted investment and specialization, potential commodities and product types are selected
Additionally, processors are incurring very high processing cost due to the high cost of packaging and transportation
Mixed fruit, Orange and grape fruit are chosen for import substitution and mixed fruit, passion fruit and orange are chosen for export generation
Juice has three main product types, with NFC and FC juice being recommended in the short term
2
15
Value Chain Summary
Fruit juice (II/III)
Currently, Ethiopia does not have price competitiveness in juice and concentrate production; it can become highly competitive if supply chain, packaging and transportation challenges are addressed, reducing costs by 34%
3
To allow for the fruit processing industry to reach its full potential a 2 phase approach is recommended
• Streamlining the supply chain can significantly reduce costs (PHL and broker margin) by 17.4% and ensure stable supply• Promoting the establishment of packaging material producing companies can reduce packaging costs by at least 15.9%• Finally, encouraging the acceleration of investment in cold storage and transportation could reduce costs by an additional 8%
• Phase 1 - Promoting the expansion of processing capacity and increasing fruit production (yield and volume); while in parallel, allowing import of pulp or concentrate to satisfy the growing input requirement of processors
• Phase 2 – During this phase, end-to-end processing of juice will be achieved, discontinuing pulp and concentrate imports; and reaching international markets by ensuring quality of both raw and processed products

16
Value Chain Summary
Fruit juice (III/III)
COMESA, MENA, EU, and China have been identified as destination markets along requirements and specific market segments
5
To pilot the potential of the designed interventions, a geography-focused implementation plan has been prepared6
Four major destination markets (COMESA, MENA, EU and China) are identified as major destination markets
Within each market, focus is given to market segments that have less stringent quality requirements and are price sensitive
Potential sourcing areas (Upper awash, wolayita, Arba Minch, Didessa and Assossa) have been identified and integrated initiatives focusing on input supply, farm production and market linkage have been developed
High level implementation plan including targets and intervention sequencing for 3 IAIP (Bulbula, Bure and Yirgalem) and private processors outside of IAIP has been developed

Value Chain Summary
Red Meat (I/III)
Ethiopia has the second largest livestock population in Africa and ranks in the top ten globally; yet has relatively low exports of red meat
The current production of meat per livestock is low compared to other livestock producing countries - Ethiopia’s red meat export growth has been inconsistent over the past 5 years
Limited supply of low land breed, which major export destinations prefer, has made Ethiopia fall short of meeting the international demand
1
Currently Ethiopia’s red meat price is not competitive in the international market due to high cost of production; 19- 30 % higher than the global average depending on the specific red meat product
• Red meat prices are high due to primary market prices, inconsistent supply of livestock, limited availability of sufficient livestock that fulfills export standards, prevalence of livestock disease and limited development of the feed industry
• Additionally, traders/middlemen at different stages of the value chain are significantly augmenting prices
2
20
Value Chain Summary
Red Meat (II/III)
Addressing issues in livestock development with commercial ranching approach can lead to Ethiopia becoming highly competitive in international markets
Promoting the establishment of commercial ranches can optimize the major costs - ensure sufficient and consistent supply, streamline sourcing of primary input, increase productivity, reduce involvement of middle men, shorten fattening period and ensure proper animal management
3
A targeted geographic based implementation is recommended to pilot a holistic approach to scale-up red meat production
• Establishing commercial ranches in areas with high livestock population, along with establishment of disease free zones and provision of cold chain transportation
• Integrated initiatives focusing on input supply, SHF production and market linkage to be implemented in the geography
4
21
Value Chain Summary
Red Meat (III/III)
Three major destination markets have been identified together with their requirements and recommended market segment; MENA, COMESA and China
• Currently around 97% of Ethiopia’s red meat export is to MENA market• Ethiopia is the largest exporter of goat meat to MENA market- covering 53% of total market and fetching a higher price- 5.8 USD
per KG
5
Market phasing is recommended for identified destination markets based on their requirements6
Phase 1: Market expansion in MENA
Phase 2: Entry to COMESA market
Phase 3: Entry to China market

Value Chain Summary
Poultry (I/III)
Ethiopia’s chicken population is 9th in Africa, however chicken meat production is very low with a proportion of chicken population to chicken meat production of 875 vs 125 in South Africa
Despite its high chicken population number which is growing at a 5% rate annually, the current meat production is very low compared with peer countries
>95% of Ethiopia’s poultry industry is dominated by traditional scavenging poultry farmers/producers
1
As it stands, Ethiopia’s chicken meat price is not competitive in the global market, >46% higher than the global market price; this is despite Ethiopia having low processing and operational costs
2
• Despite having processing and operational costs that is lower than the global average by >48%, Ethiopia’s chicken meat prices are higher than peer countries mainly due to challenges revolving around chicken production
24
Value Chain Summary
Poultry (II/III)
Chicken meat prices are high due to challenges around feed, Day Old Chick (DOC) and low conversion rate of indigenous breed
3
Feed comprises 70% of the poultry industry and the current price of feed is double of the global average; 0.6USD - Raw material that are used as inputs for feed processing and DOC prices are >50% higher prices than the global average
Indigenous breeds (95% of chicken population), have low feed conversion rate (2.8 vs 1.5 global average) and longer rearing periods (10 weeks vs6weeks of broiler breeds)
4 Optimizing the major cost drivers will enable Ethiopia’s chicken meat price to be competitive in the global market
1. Local broiler pure breed multiplication center will reduce the DOC price by 55%2. Using better broiler breed type coupled with boosting soybean & neug
production and lifting imposed taxes on the by-products will reduce the feed cost by 34%
3. Implementing import tariff initiative on premixes and additives will reduce the feed cost by 3%
4. Adjusting the profit margin to the globally recommended margin (5% - 7%) will reduce the market price by 16%
25
Value Chain Summary
Poultry (III/III)
Optimized chicken meat prices will enable us penetrate market destinations at close vicinity; MENA, COMESA and China
6
5 To reach the optimized price level (in order to compete globally) and to balance the current mismatch between feed demand andsupply, the development of the feed processing industry is a precursor to developing poultry processing – as experiences from countries like China, Brazil and Thailand show
Geographical based targeted implementation will be piloted in Bulbula, Bure, Yirgalem IAIPs, and private processing in Wolkite, Debrebirhan, Wollega, Axum and Mekelle areas
7
Phase 1: Import substitutionIn the first phase substituting chicken meat imports (that are coming mainly from Brazil) is recommended
Phase 2: Export generationWith price optimization, Ethiopia’s chicken meat will be competitive in three major markets (MENA, COMESA and China). Based on meeting quality & standard requirements. it is recommended to initially focus on MENA then COMESA and gradually into China upon quality improvement
